A Saudi development program in Yemen has laid the foundation stone for a new educational institution in Taiz, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen said the twelve-classroom facility aims to provide access to quality education in the city.

The new school is now part of 207 projects or initiatives provided by the SDRPY in seven vital sectors across Yemen.

The program’s educational projects include the building and restoring of schools and universities. Work on Saba University is among the notable projects of the program, which has also built 23 schools and a center for gifted students.

Other initiatives include the provision of 26 buses and the distribution of 548,852 textbooks.
